GM 1.6.1 has issues with multiple connected files
« Thread Started on Nov 16, 2006, 11:11pm »

Versions Affected: GreyMatter 1.6.1
Severity: Moderate
Issue Description: Only GM installations with multiple connected files are affected.The code that examines 'connected files' depends on each file name being seperated by the characters '|*|' but as of version 1.6.1 is seperated by the newline character '\n'.

This defect was introduced by the assumption that whenever a config parameter is retrieved from the file, that the internal newline ('|*|') was replaced with the regular newline, however, for the connected files, the switch is made later.

Resolution: This is an easy defect to fix and requires that two lines of code be changed in the gm-library.cgi file. Lines 2502 and 10060.
From:

Code:
@connectedfilelist = split (/\|\*\|/, $otherfilelist);

To:

Code:
@connectedfilelist = split ('\\n', $otherfilelist);

Again, my apologies for not catching this in my testing phase.
